Life at Fulton & Elliott-Chelsea
After years of discussions and collaboration with the Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea community, we are working with NYCHA and the community to plan for the creation of modern, permanently affordable housing for all current residents. Together, we are enhancing the campus while preserving the spirit of the FEC community that has been integral to the Chelsea neighborhood for generations.
Project Highlights
100% replacement of 2,056 NYCHA apartments with brand-new, modern buildings featuring enhanced layouts, ventilation, and energy efficiency
New apartments for existing NYCHA residents guaranteed, with full PACT protections. Rent will continue to be calculated at 30% of adjusted household income
Resident-controlled, in-unit heating and cooling, new dishwashers, and washer/dryers in every unit
Brand new community resources on campus including an affordable healthy grocer, a healthcare facility, retail stores, and additional outdoor recreational spaces
A phased construction plan to minimize disruption to current residents and allow majority of NYCHA residents to move right into their new apartment
A comprehensive "Bridge Plan" for immediate renovations and repairs, improving safety and enhancing comfortable living conditions while residents await their new homes
Upon completion of the new NYCHA buildings, additional residential buildings will be constructed, creating thousands of new affordable and market rate apartments for the Chelsea neighborhood
Through the entire redevelopment and after completion, resident rights will continue to be protected through the PACT program

Related Affordable Management
As part of the next phase in the plan for the revitalization of Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses (FEC), Related Affordable Management (RAM) will be the new managing agent for four buildings within the Fulton campus, and two on the Elliott-Chelsea Houses campus moving forward. New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) will continue to manage the remaining buildings and will provide oversight as the landowner and partner in the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) conversion and the Project-Based Section 8 program for the entire FEC community.
